I had my car repaired due to an open recall in April. I got in my car yesterday and while driving the car shut off and there seemed to be a liquid leaking from under the car. I had the car towed to Key Hyundai of Milford where the recall work in addition to other work was done. I am really worried because I could have gotten hurt if other cars where nearby. Also the dealership is saying it may take up to 2 weeks for them to inspect my vehicle. I need suggestions as to my best course of action.

My car had a recall that was going on for about a year with my car stalling and smelling of burning oil. Early this year a letter was mailed stating recall in being investigated, (campaign 181) the end of september I got the official letter about the recall and what I needed to do. It took a 1 weeks to get the car in. My car stalled twice during that time. Days before my car got fixed my car stalled twice, and I start hearing a loud noise in which I found out after the recall was fixed that my valve covers needed replaced. The technician said that it could not be fixed because engine was bad. I had a corporate representative who did nothing, and I had to call 500 times to have it escalated to a corporate manager. After I got a corporate manager is when grayson hyndaui decided to give me an estimate. My car has been parked at home since 9/24/2019 and I have paid to rent a car since that day an till this day. I want this resolved asap.

Engine has a very bad knocking sound as described in recalled cars that catch fire with the same engine. I can't drive it in this condition and the mechanic says repair is very expensive and might not fix the problem. There is a concern that there are no good engine parts from which to ever fix it. The sound just keeps getting worse.

My 2011 hyundai tucson stalled while driving on a busy city road . I was going straight with 40 miles/hour when my vehicle suddenly lost power for unnown reason, and started slowing down, then completely stopped. The engine stopped, gas pedal was not responding. The check engine, oil pressure, and battery light came on at the same time when car stalled. Battery is a couple of months old, everything seem to operate normally except the vehicle does not start. Fortunately I was able to pull over to a turning lain to avoid any accident and called my insurance company to have the vehicle towed to safety. I have received a recall letter from hyundai a few months ago, and immediately called the nearest hyundai dealer to have the vehicle checked. The representative said they do not have the parts yet and they will contact me as soon as the parts are available. I have yet to receive a call and now my vehicle stalled. It is inoperable.

Highway, bridge, following significantly far back. Car stops ahead and I brake in plenty of time (my son was in the front seat and can attest to that). Car brakes but very slowly, not in time so we hit the stationary car and then we were hit much harder from behind. Airbags deployed. The car immediately filled with smoke which I attributed to the air bags because I did not know any better. Very scared, I screamed for the kids to get out of the car. Smoke was gone by the time police arrived. We were ok, my son and I had sore ribs and while talking with police my left hand was burning from something. Nothing was visible so I saw know point in telling anyone. It left a rash and within time it peeled and now is back to normal. A few days later, had some headaches. Went to the athletic trainer at our school (I am a teacher) and was put on concussion protocol. Car was totaled. The front looked like an accordion as we were pushed significantly into the vehicle in front by the car who hit us from behind. I was so relieved that everyone was ok that I really did not think about it until recall notice came for the car which of course was already gone. Engine problems with "oil leaks and possible spontaneous fires, increasing risk for accident" is the wording on the recall.
Car had been starting up rough by. Also under my car on drivers side under plasti covering had a stream of black fluid that looked like oil and smells like gas.also inside its smells. 2nd time it did that and seems like after I feel up all the way it does it then stops till I fill up again
Takata recall : I have to drive 47 miles on a fast paced highway in southern florida in order to get to my job, daily. Multiple times a week I experience a stall while traveling at high speeds on the highway. I took my car to a local hyundai dealership recently and they did not even know about the upcoming recall. For months, I have been having to drive my car and feel unsafe. I have to go to work, and I do not have another vehicle option. I feel unsafe and am incredibly upset that hyundai has not found a resolution yet. If this problem is not fixed soon I will be forced to get another vehicle, regardless of my financial situation. My next vehicle will not be a hyundai, solely because of the amount of time this recall resolution is taking.

There is a recall out on my vehicle. Manufacturer recall number 181/the federal safety agency recall number 19v063. The problem is that there is no remedy yet available for this and they issued the recall in february. I took my vehicle in for p.m. Service at the hyundai dealership, and they told me my vehicle was indeed symptomatic of the nature of the recall (leaking fluid between engine block and oil pan), but that hyundai did not yet have a remedy. When I look up the recall on the federal safety agency website, it says,"if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the federal safety agency..." I feel as though, given the potential risk (failure at high speed/possible engine fire) and timeline (recall issued in february - no remedy yet available in mid april), hyundai has indeed failed to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner. Furthermore - I have received no official communications from hyundai regarding this matter which I find unprofessional as well.
